Welcome to the C.O.O.R. Intermediate School District

Community Feedback for Strategic Planning

We are seeking your perspective on our district’s future. Our "Strategic Planning” has begun to review how we can meet our community's needs and to align our goals accordingly.

We invite you to take the online survey linked here. ISD Feedback Survey It is only four questions long. We are asking you to consider the strengths of C.O.O.R. ISD, opportunities for improvement, barriers to implementation, and your vision for what C.O.O.R. ISD can become.

We also scheduled several in-person sessions in November to gather feedback from all those we serve and community partners. Parents, students, Community members, teachers, and all local district and ISD leaders and staff members had the opportunity to share input. We appreciate honest feedback.

Thank you for helping us with this important initiative. We look forward to reviewing your input and adjusting our goals as needed. Then our team will align our work to meet those goals.

Constituent Districts

C.O.O.R. ISD includes the counties of Crawford, Oscoda, Ogemaw, and Roscommon, an area covering 2,600 square miles. Within this area, C.O.O.R. serves six local public school districts and two Public School Academies.

The ISD collects and monitors data that is required by the Michigan Department of Education and works with local districts to ensure that the type and nature of services needed within our area are properly represented at the state level.

The services that the ISD provides allow local school districts regardless of size to have access to quality personnel, services and programs that they could not afford individually. This prevents unnecessary duplication and better use of state and local money through the sharing of resources.
